Abstract
This invention relates to a method for analyzing a viewed scene containing a target. The scene is digitized forming a binary image in which the target is distinguished from the background. The image is then processed to form a contoured representation of the target, and a target skeleton. Finally a contoured skeleton is produced and the target aimpoint is determined.
